3.6.2 Region
Wireless devices are thoroughly regulated and the countries have slightly
different regulations. Therefore, the geographical region where the Ericsson
W3x is used must be stated to make sure the correct radio frequencies are
used when transmitting data.
Select the geographical region in which you reside from the “Region” drop-
down list and click
Apply to save the setting.
3.6.3 Radio Channel
The radio channel must be in accordance with the previous set region and
only channels that are allowed in the configured region are available in the
“Radio channel” drop-down list.
By selecting “Auto” (recommended) the radio in the Ericsson W3x will
automatically scan each valid channel and choose the one with least
interference.
Select either “Auto” or a specific channel number from the “Radio channel”
drop-down list and click
Apply to save the setting.
3.6.4 Transmit Power [dBm]
To avoid interference with other wireless networks, the transmit power level
can be reduced. If you want to change the transmit power level according
to your specific conditions, select an appropriate level from the “Transmit
power [dBm]” drop-down list and click
Apply to save the setting.
3.6.5 Data Rate
According to wireless LAN standards and the IEEE 802.11 protocols there
are different data rates available for different modes. From the “Data rate”
drop down list there are the following modes available:
• B-Mode Only (supporting IEEE 802.11b clients with a maximum data
rate of 11 Mbit/s)
• G-Mode Only (supporting IEEE 802.11g clients with a maximum data
rate of 54 Mbit/s)
• B/G-Mixed Mode (supporting both IEEE 802.11b/g clients as described
above)
• Legacy B-Mode (supporting IEEE 82.11b legacy clients).
